If there are no missing values then a rolling sum is just n * rolling mean so you can use your rolling mean.
Also see: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/10/5161.html In the zoo package see rollapply and rollmean. In the caTools package see runmean and runsum.exact. runmean is particularly fast.
